    Firefox still has CPU issues on some Macs—my 2015 fans go loopy—but I persist; it's now my default. I value the dev tools, container tabs, Pocket integration, and it looks good now. Plus, using it makes me a resistance fighter.

    Funny to see the viral clip of sumo Takayasu, doing the handprints thing. I managed this vid of him arriving at the Osaka basho. Somehow I got very into sumo; watch all the NHK highlights. My faves are Hakuho, Tochinoshin, and Kotoshogiku. Now you know.

    Helps if you build a picture of Mameya: it’s tiny, and dark, and there is always a tight line, customers waiting for the famed coffee consultation. Imagine standing in line behind Ad Rock and Mike D. Wow.

    Us, to visiting friend who works at Tokyo’s Koffee Mameya: “Have you served any famous people?” Him, somewhat apologetically: “Well, exciting for me was the Beastie Boys...” Me: *five minutes of omg in caps lock*

    (I know stuff like this feels inaccessible to a lot of people, and I don’t tweet it to be clever. It’s just that I personally love very painterly expressionistic painting about land and nature. It makes me happy x)

    In the presence of greatness at the Tate. Peter Lanyon will always be my very favourite painter. I poured everything into being like him in my 20s, before the Internet lured me away. I sit here wondering what might’ve been.

    Nothing here is in the long term interests of the UK and its people. It is indefensible beyond the only justification you can give - a slim majority in 2016. It is permanently damaging and you know it. Your only aim now is to seek a slim majority of MPs. I will never support it.
